Five Defenders Manchester United Should Target After Leicester City Mauling

Although Manchester United spent nearly £150 million on new players during the summer, they didn’t sign adequate defensive reinforcements. That was shown against newly promoted Leicester City, who ripped Louis van Gaal’s side apart with pace and power, beating them 5-3 on Sunday.

For the Red Devils to really compete for the Premier League title they will have to sign a quality defender so here are the five best candidates.

Mats Hummels – Borussia Dortmund

Arguably one of the best defenders in the world at the moment, Hummels would bring power to United’s defence, something they lack badly at the moment with Leicester routinely bullying them off the ball. The German would also be able to lead Louis van Gaal’s inexperienced defenders and tell them what positions they need to be. Hummels is a must buy for van Gaal if he become available.
